In more than 2,600 articles, this encyclopedia covers the breadth of Asia, largely during the 20th century, from Turkey to Southeast Asia... Articles about countries typically include an overall profile (geography, the people, language, history, politics, economy) and more focused topical articles (economic system, education system, history, political system), giving readers the option of a summary approach or more detailed coverage. Many other topics appear by subject, with separate articles by country or region (e.g., Literature-Central Asia, Literature-China). Given the varying ways in which topics are presented, effective use of the encyclopedia is greatly enhanced by a lengthy Reader's Guide, repeated in each volume, and a subject index. Typical of good encyclopedias, all the articles are signed (the preface notes the participation of more than eight hundred scholars and experts from around the world), include references to related articles, and conclude with Further Reading bibliographies. Other features include nearly 1,400 black-and-white maps (a section of regional maps is repeated in each volume), photographs, tables, chronologies, sidebars (many quoting source documents), and a roster of contributors... Articles vary in depth, with many too superficial for more than quick reference or undergraduate background information. Nevertheless, the encyclopedia will be a unique resource appropriate for most reference collections. Summing Up: Essential. General and academic collections. |

Grade 9 Up–An essential resource for students looking for summaries of significant U.S. legislation. Landsberg offers historical overviews of the importance and impact of 262 major congressional acts from 1789 to 2002. The signed, alphabetically arranged entries range from one to five pages in length and conclude with bibliographies and occasional Internet resources. Selected articles contain sidebars of helpful information; excerpts from the act; and/or a black-and-white photo, reproduction, or political cartoon. The wide margins contain definitions of terms. Citations to the Public Law number and to the United Statutes at Large are provided for students needing to locate the text of a law. A topical outline allows users to locate the acts by broad subjects such as civil rights, the environment, education, slavery, and social programs and welfare. The appendixes contain the U.S. Constitution, a glossary, a set index, and the court cases interpreting the law. A lengthy time line lists the years the acts were passed, the president who signed the law, a breakdown of how the Congressional parties voted, and events and policies of that year. |
